The end of the preface of Ronald Syme’s The Roman Revolution (Oxford, 1939)Text reads:…[the] imperfections [of my book] are patent and flagrant. It has not been composed in tranquillity; and it ought to be held back for several years and rewritten. But the theme, I firmly believe, is of some importance. If the book provokes salutary criticism, so much the better.”R.S.Oxford1 June 1939 -- source link
